Respectus commandus.
Been one week since i last bloggd. Somehow, the week seem to fly by. Was actually quite shock to learn that it is already 21 days into the new year.3 weeks back, i spent the day at wong's house. 2 weeks back at shuqi house. Last week, was out with my 2 good brothers. And so here i am again with things to share from the past week.
Prayed for my grandfather on monday and so took leave. Had my first test of X.O. and it rocks. can't imagine that one bottle cost almost $200. Heh Heh. Free drink somemore. Whoa. And then went to town with my 2 cousins to shop on a good monday afternoon. Being in town on weekdays sure feels different. To add on to that, thats the first time i was out with my cousins. Amazing? Maybe.
And on to camp for an expected short week. 3 days haha. Tuesday was almost a totally relax do nothing day except for close combat bugi stick fighting. Got whooped by my friend lost balance an fell twice. Super disgrace, especially infront of my man. And then went to do some OVM check. Was having much difficulty in trying to wake up one of my man's idea. But haiz. It made me wonder:Why work so hard and put in such enthusiasm in army when there is a sardin can full of useless people doing nothing, having a can't be bothered attitude. Command and man alike. And so i pondered. Till no, no conclusion. Whatever. Just do what i like-command and control-With one thing in mind. That is, to earn the respect of my man.
Went outfield early tuesday morning. Very impressed that all my man were obediently punctual that morning. Maybe and hopefully because what i told them inspired them. Not egoistic here. Just being frank about what i hope to achieve.Went out to TVMA and did a real cool battle course. SBC never felt that great before. Maybe because for once, the HMG was firing well. But sadly, there wasn't much available for me to fire. Went on to do some covert ops after that. Was planning to do 3 covert exercises for that night.....psst....planned by me.
Ex Gypsy: Movement from resting area to gedong camp. Objective is to infiltrate the camp.
Ex Jukebox: Play around with the guards on duty, go to every prowler checkpoint and plant a dummy C4 charge. Will get charged if I get caught. But that will be a once in a lifetime experience. Imagine infiltrating a military camp under the cloak of darkness. Guards with live ammunition prowling the area with no idea who you are. Will probably take me as terrorist and start firing at me while alerting the guard room. Realism is a full 100%. Only know of one other unit that does that. The SOF. And come on, with my outfit that day, I could have easily smoked my way through as an SOF member if caught.
Ex Shellshock: Escape and evasion back to rest area.
~Well. Of course I won't be doing that alone. Got a friend to do it with me.~
And so the outcome. Spent an hour doing an additional recee ops in the DAY. Volvo axis was booming with rovers, tonners, Light strikes, lorries, Broncos, Bxs. You name it. There is at least 3 active units going around in that area. For that one hour, we skirted along the axis around the camp trying to find a possible infiltration point for Ex Gypsy. Encountered at least 20 vehicles and 3 guards. None spotted us. Concealment IS exciting. And so we found an plan a route of entrace plus backup plan. Ready for the night.
And then went to ATC training shed where we saw some infantry lookalike kids who looked damn inexperienced doing tactical movement. So 4 of us gathered and did movement in the opposite direction. In an attempt to stun them with our all so pro 4 3sgt group movement, we end up taking cover just beside the road. Vegetation was tall but sparse. Rather open but only a few managed to spot us.Camoflage IS exciting.`Repeat. Turn out they are guards and they were quite impressed. We did nothing though.
And on to thursday. Earn the respect of my friend's driver. He used to show attitude and turn a white eye to me when i F him. Guess what happened. It came to a point in which he automatically did stuff for me and shock me. What really touch my heart for the first time as a sgt is when he brought me lunch personally. His VC-my friend- was quite @##$@$%^@ for a moment. Haha. Earn his respect? I hope so. F coy commanders pissed me off.
1.Tried ordering me around when he is of the same rank. Rich? So what. This is the army.
2. Shouted at me, ask my man to do their sai gang. Balls to you.
3. Cock PS Scolded us like we were man while he was lying down. Infront of all the man.
Some kind of commander.Spit.
Went back to camp and fought hard to fight for the man to book out early. Some complained because a few booked out earlier. And i personally gave them a piece of my mind about integrity. They all fell silent. Couldn't be bothered to book out anyway. So the few of us stayed back and book out only this morning.
Went to orchard to watch Alfie which is an inspiring movie. Orchard itself was a show. A feast for the eyes. Yet, civilian life isn't all that good. It lacked the momentum of life. Simply made me face the reality of missing someone. Haiz....Don't want to always talk about her when I blog. But somehow, she is always on my mind. Made a decision. Though i recognise the fact that someday we will drift apart and become friends IN NAME. I just wanna standby her all the way. When the time comes and I become something extra and worthy of discard. Let it be. At least till that day, I know and she knows that i will be with her at every single moment.Not trying to be wei da. It simply makes me feel at peace with myself. Because thats something that i want to do. For her. For myself. For friendship. For love.
